Our Mission

JINN’s mission is to enhance the nutrition environment in Jamaica especially targeting students, student athletes and youth in schools/institutions and offering general population nutrition services through collaboration with teachers, nutrition advocates and strategic partners and coordination of their efforts.

We are particularly concerned about the accuracy and currency of nutrition information that reaches the public and especially that which impact the nutrition of our students, athletes and youth both inside and outside the classroom. Much misinformation and misconceptions surrounding key nutrition concepts are imparted at all levels.
